My experience in Fairburn has been great! I support the local businesses in the area ranging from the restaurants, grocery store, gas stations, barbershop, gym, and the public library.

What I like about Fairburn is the friendly atmosphere and the citizens of the city. It feels like a small family with extended members who you may not know personally, but from normal interactions, they are like family.

What I would like to see for Fairburn is the mall to reopen. This would create more jobs and provide a reason for people to come further south of the airport, and could potentially bring more companies to the area.

Start Your Review of Fairburn

Living in Fairburn is quiet great. The neighborhoods are very friendly and crime rarely happens. There have been consistent development's over the years including the buildings of popular restaurants and coffee places. This has raised property cost good for people who want to sell in the future. My neighbors are always friendly and people with family's have no problem finding a store near by or grabbing a eat. One thing i would change about Fairburn our its schools. The schools provided for students in this area are ranked very low and have poor reviews from students and staff mostly because it also feeds into the lower income areas where crime is high. I think better counseling for those specific students could do wonder so it doesn't harm the other students. To end on a good note Fairburn is only a few minutes from down town Atlanta where most of the excitement is at make it a easy trip to go back and forth and have fun during the day.

Fairburn is a hybrid of a tiny town and a fast-growing suburb. Fairburn doesn't have much, and it's essentially just a few of blocks of shops/restaurants - nothing special. Fairburn is a lovely, peaceful town.
